In the ruins of a forgotten civilization, a traveler finds a mirror. Gazing into it, they see vivid memories of an ancient stranger's life and are drawn into its joys and sorrows...

Mirror Of The Lost

I shivered at the feeling of a midnight breeze caressing my skin. Wait a midnight breeze? I turned quick because it’s the middle of the afternoon and there shouldn’t be a cool breeze anywhere in this humid jungle. I spotted a mirror hanging from a wall. I stood in its line of sight and felt the breeze again.

What in the world.

I creeped closer and started hearing the faint whispers of the breeze. It sounded like I was on high up in the sky. As I crept closer the mirror shimmered and the imagine changed into a dark scene. A midnight sky full of stars I’ve never seen on top of some kind of building. I froze when I saw a dark figure sitting on the ledge staring at the stars. I know good and well that’s not my reflection.

Standing at the mirror I took a closer look at the person as they rode from their sitting position. That’s when I noticed the shoes on the other side of them neatly laid. Wait no.

I screamed, “No don’t do it!”

The person turned around and I was face to face with the purest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. They were almost glowing in the dark. They turned towards me and walked toward me without breaking a stride. In his deep tones he barely whispered, “who are you?”
